Search Settings

You can choose whether or not JetTask should display the search bar:

Always - The search bar will always be shown. The "Search" link will be removed. Choose this option if you frequently use the search features in JetTask.
Never - The search bar will be completely removed. Choose this option if you rarely use the search features in JetTask. NOTE: You will still be able to search your task list using the Find Tab.
Let me hide it - this is the default option. This option displays a "Search" link next to the search provider drop down. Clicking on this link will minimize the search bar down such that it only takes a minimum amount of space. Clicking the link again brings the search bar back. Choose this option if you sometimes use the Search Bar.

As you can see, JetTask provides lots of search engines for you to use right out of the box. The Search Providers area lets you manage these search engines. For example, if you wanted to search Google.co.uk rather then Google.com, you could modify the ".com" in the "Generic Url" field to say ".co.uk" instead.

WARING: This may not work for all providers. Make sure you make a backup of the Generic URL before editing it.

You can also use the Search Providers box to select which search engines should be displayed in the Search Engine drop down box. Simply check or uncheck the checkbox in the "Show" column and the item will be added or removed. Note that the JetTask provider will always be included.

This is an advanced feature. It allows you to add your own Search Engine. ...but be careful! Once an engine has been added, it can be modified but not removed.

To add a search engine you need a Name and Generic URL. The name is the easy part. A generic URL is tricky and it is best to look at an example. Consider:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q={0}&btnG=Search

This string is used to search google. The string "{0}" is where the magic happens. This is where your search query will be inserted. All generic URL values must have the string "{0}" in them somewhere. Once this string has been correctly added, just click the "Add" button.

Of course, if you think we missed a great search engine, let us know! We can add it into the next release.

This drop down box lists all available, visible providers. Select one as the default. This will be the search provider which is used when no other provider is selected.
